| "This practical ready-reference handbook provides
accurate up-to-date information on trout fishing in the
North Island of New Zealand.
It is directed towards both local anglers and the
increasing numbers of overseas enthusiasts attracted by
New Zealand's unsurpassed fishing opportunities.
The world-famous Taupo and Rotorua areas are
described in detail. So are many lesser-known, more
remote but equally rewarding back country waters. In
fact, more than 300 streams and 60 lakes are considered
in this useful guidebook.
John Kent, author of the successful companion volume,
the South Island Trout Fishing Guide, draws on over 40
years' trout fishing experience and a life-long
enthusiasm for New Zealand's back country and high
country fishing areas to provide an unparalleled guide
for local and visiting angler alike."
The latest 2009 edition is greatly expanded and updated. It has new Photographs by Patti Magnano Madsen including a block of 8 colour pages. There is much valuable information in this book for the traveling angler new to the North Island as well as plenty to interest the locals. Advice on the best times to fish, how deep the fish are likely to be, tackle to use, best flies, and so on would take you a lifetime to gather on your own.
"Don't even think of going trout fishing in New Zealand's North Island without a copy of this book. I highly recommend you get a copy. " Allan Burgess - November 2009
